ExecWait fails when used with Defines

Hi Guys,

I am still new with NSIS. I would like to run a JAR File. I placed it in an Installer Section to run this.

DEFINES:

!define PRODUCTPROFILE "setup\lib\myfile.xml"

!define LKMCSETUPTOOL "setup\lib\myjar.jar"

!define LKMCINTEG "my.class.sample.Main"

!define JAVAWEXE "jre\bin\javaw.exe"

SECTION:

Section "-Setup" SEC06

  SetOutPath "$APPDATA\setup"

  File /r "..\data\tools\setuptool"

  File "..\data\myfile.xml"



  ; Integrate License

  ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\${JAVAWEXE}" -Dwinsysdir="C:\Windows\System32" -cp "$APPDATA\${LKMCSETUPTOOL}" "${LKMCINTEG}" "$APPDATA\${PRODUCTPROFILE}"'

  Delete /REBOOTOK "$APPDATA\${PRODUCTPROFILE}"



  SetFileAttributes "$APPDATA\setup" HIDDEN

SectionEnd

I noticed the following:
1. If I execute the code EXECWAIT in the onInit with different Define Values, it works.
2. If I hard code the Path, it also works.

Hope someone can help me. Thanks! 🙂

The values of defines are substituted at compile time so using them will not effect how an instruction behaves unless your defined values are incorrect for their desired purpose.

My first guess would be that it is failing because you are using a relative path for LKMCINTEG and yet your working directory is $APPDATA\setup (SetOutPath sets the current working directory).

Thanks!

Thanks Stu! I will try to look at it... 🙂

You should try running Process Monitor, I'm guessing the process is started and fails early for some reason...
